Article 250 of the National Electrical Code covers grounding.
Grounding
Some manufacturers require it and others don't. The NEC does not require this additional ground
NEC Section 310.4 requires a 1/0 AWG and larger be used in parallel.
#10 copper
Yes, NEC has an entire chart on grounding.
Grounding
No, the bare copper grounding conductor can not be in a conduit with other conductors. It can be in conduit by itself to provide mechanical protection for the wire.
NEC 230.28
Chapter 1
Some manufacturers require it and others don't. The NEC does not require this additional ground
Grounding Electrodes and Grounding Electrode Systems All grounding electrodes present at a building or structure must be bonded together to form a grounding electrode system, as required by NEC® Section 250.50. Doing so eliminates voltage gradients, and also improves reliability and grounding performance over time by creating redundancy. If one electrode is damaged, destroyed by corrosion, or removed, other electrodes are available to maintain the all-important connection from the service equipment to ground. Section 250.53(B) states that two or more grounding electrodes effectively bonded together are considered a single grounding electrode system. Permitted Electrodes The NEC recognizes the following seven types of grounding electrodes [250.52(A)]: Metal underground water pipe Metal frame of a building or structure Concrete-encased electrodes Ground ring Rod and pipe electrodes Plate electrodes Other local metal underground systems or structures (piping, tanks, well casings, etc.)
after a cesarian section you can get urine infection or infection in the wound.
I don't know what the NEC - OR 2011 is. Is that a code book for the state of Oregon? The NEC does not allow using a gas pipe as a grounding electrode. You run the risk of heating the gas to explosive temperatures.
